It was about six o'clock in the evening when I reached our final objective, which was just below the edge of the hill.

There our men were digging themselves in.

It was no pleasant task, because the wind was cold and it was beginning to snow.

The prospect of spending a night there was not an attractive one, and every man was anxious to make the best home for himself he could in the ground.

It was wonderful to look over the valley.
